Nicole Richie, you sly thing. The reality TV star and entrepreneur hit "Good Morning America" on Wednesday to talk about her new book, motherhood and the inevitable question of her approaching wedding to rocker Joel Madden.

"I'm going to be honest with you, Joel and I are not big planners," she told host Robin Roberts, who'd asked if the "I do" date was hovering -- considering that Richie just enjoyed her bachelorette party.

"We just go with the flow."

As do the various projects Richie entertains while raising her two kids, daughter Harlow and son Sparrow. The new book, "Priceless," is a departure from her first novel about the destructive nature of Hollywood.

"I'm in a different place now, completely," she said of her former bad-girl days. "It was good for me to just completely close that out and start something new and fresh [with this book]."

Another fun fact: Harlow, the oldest, has a fond appreciation for the music of her grandfather Lionel Richie.

"She loves him," she said, adding that when little Harlow hears a song or sees an old music video, she cries, "'Oh, that's Pop-pop!'"
